Shared Two Way Classes: Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment

Over the past few years, several school districts have shared some dual enrollment classes through the use of the distance learning lab. These classes have been Introduction to Psychology and Human Communications. These classes were also shared by our Teacher Cadet Academy and our Health Academy, as well as being available to students in the school districts that were able to dial into the sites offering the classes and the actual instructor.

Since our initial first offerings, we have expanded the number of schools with distance learning labs from one, Bangor to what will be six by the end of this year. Currently, there are functioning, operational labs in Bangor, Lawrence, Decatur, Covert, Gobles, Lawton, and Bloomingdale.  With the videobridge, we are able to connect all of the schools together at the same time.
